nurLLY FOR BUTTE.
The Two Big Hole Bridges to he Butte En-
terprises.

II annears to be settled that the Commis-
sioners of Silver Bow County intend 10
build two bridges over the Big Hole river
a. points convenient to catch the Big Hole
Basin trade, which also appears to be an
object Of special concern to the Butte mer.
chants and business men generally. Inc
Silver Bow, or Butte, Commissioners held
a caucus at the Court House in the Silver
City and received plans and speclhcat'ons
for building two bridges over the Big Hole
river. 1t is understood that the Butte
Commissioners gave bonus OF $50 to the
person submitting the bridge plans and
specifications that received the approval OF
the Butte. Board. No one down this way
will call in question the right Of the Butte
Commissioners to build bridges. They
have plenty ormoney up that way, ana a
few thousand spent in bridge building, may,
like boomerang, return to the spot from
whence it was spent. The bridges are to
be Butte enterprises. No doubt OF It.
The following advertisement, signed by
the Silver Bow Clerk, is running in the
dailies up there, and it proves beyond the
peradventure Of reasonable doubt that
Butte means bridge business "Sealed
bids will be received at the Office of the
County Clerk lin Butte until Saturday
the 10Th day OF November, for building
two bridges over the Big Hole river in ac
cordance with the plans and specification:
selected on the 1-}th Of November. The
Board Of Commissioners will meet at thu

of opening bids and awarding the contrac

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD.

1t is pleasure amidst the multitude of
cheap, cIaptrap, performances that over
run the country, to see such performance
as that given last night by the James
Wainwright company. The play pro
duced was ''Virginius," with Mr..
James in the title role and Miss
Marie Wainwright as ''Nirginius" Mr.
James has a magnificent physique, q
deep sympathetic voice that gives him the
appearance of the ideal Roman. Miss
Wainwrfght's Virginia is a beautiful
companion piece to his sturdy robust
and at the same time sympa-
thetic impersonator She delineates the
tender affectionate and obedient phases of
the Roman maiden's character in a man
ner which draws the most profound sym
pathy from the audience. The Icilius OF
Mr.. :. c. Mosley was too well worthy
of the highest CONTAMINATION. His
fine personal appearance easy, graceful
manners added greatly to his successful
rendition. Mr.. Huebner's Appius CIaud-
ius was deserved!y popular impersona-
ton. Miss Kate Meeks was good as Ser
via
The stage settings and costumes worn
were excellent and displayed a close atten-
ton to all the minor details of thepresen-
tation
Tonight will be given w 6. Gilbert 5
"Gretchens" with Miss wainwright in the
title role and Mr.. James a. MepnisJo.
This is one of the recognized attractions OF
the country and deserves good house.

FLAMES IN A TRAP.

4 fire alarm was sent in this morning at
1915 from the corner of Main street and
Douglas avenue. Fire had been discovered
III the sam Sharp restaurant, on West
Douglas ave. The companies turned out
in good time but the flames had obout cap
tured the building before the water was
turned on. There was goood pressure
and before many minutes the fire was about
conquered.
For time it seemed that the Henry
SEIZED building adjoining on the east side
but it was little damaged. The building
burned was insured but we were unable to
learn for how much.
a policeman stated that Thursday night
he saw a man throw fire cracker on the
top Of the building which exploded but did
not fire the building 1t seemed evident
TO him that the fire was the work of an in
cendiary. lie did not know whether some
one fired It to cause loss to the owner or
whether it was an over insured business.
Later.-Policeman Badger called near
1870 this morning and stated that he and
John Nau were the first to see the fire and
that it started from a stove in the back

ANOTHER ACQUISITION.

Our local readers will remember the men
lions made of Rev S. S. Mathews, of Bos-
ton, who was in attendance upon the ses-
sions of the late state association of the
Congregational ministers of Kansas, held
in this city Mr. Matthews brilliant talks
and profound discourses captivated all
who heard him. They will also doubtless
remember that he in turn was delighted
with our city and its people, with our way
of saying and doing things. After his re-
turn home the Olivet Congregational
church of this city sent him an urgent call
to become their pastor. Yesterday morn
ing an affirmative answer was received by
the Congregation and great is their delight.
The EAGLE not only congratulates them
but the entire city on such conspicuous
addition TO its intellectual forces.

Tom declares that Wichita colapses the
whole bakery. To build city within a
life time none but Americans have ever
essayed, but TO turn out complete metrop-
obs within the brief existence OF a sucking
babe renders any further talking about this
globe FOR strange sights unnecessary upon
his part. Like Samuel, of old, he has seen
enough. The EAGLE welcomes its old
friends back to the land Of the living and

AGAINST A HOUSE.

A very exciting runaway occurred yes
terday afternoon on the West Side on Chi
cago avenue, near Garfield University. y
farmer was returning home from the city,
when his team became frightened at a
passing train on the Wichita & Colorado.
They started on run and one of the lines
broke The driver held on to the one left
and pulled the team north of the avenue
into some vacant lots. They kept Oh the
run, however, and the wagon soon hit the
corner of a house. Several boards were
jerked Off but neither the wagon or team
were injured. Reaching a street going
north, they accepted it as a thoroughfare,
Running into gutter the driver was
thrown out and the team was sO03 out of
sight.
